You only realize the coat when friends you would dearly love to host, can't get in. Architecture speaks alright. :( <br /><br />Moving is emotionally as well as physically exhausting. Acknowledging that is so good. Be gentle and take time and space from<br />other things to get through this if you can.Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251920708783268740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-11527039659510233292017-06-02T12:20:31.675-04:002017-06-02T12:20:31.675-04:00Have moved many times as my ex-husband was militar...Have moved many times as my ex-husband was military. Now I move because of family circumstances -- the last time under very stressful circumstances so never cleared out all I should have. Working on that a bit at a time.<br /><br />It is never easy saying goodbye to the people and places and routines that have developed. The memories help but have to be put on the shelf.<br />It is a brand new adventure and opportunities and people to meet and places to explore.<br />Focus on each when appropriate, make your lists, and do what you can when you can.<br />Enjoy the challenges and stress and excitement of all you must do in the next few weeks and most certainly, I hope, enjoy the new house.Flemisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06071892012220547892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-15262162921535888242017-06-02T10:43:45.403-04:002017-06-02T10:43:45.403-04:00Moving from one home to another one can mark the e...Moving from one home to another one can mark the end of one chapter and the start of another (except for folks who move frequently, for military service or jobs). the tension between savoring what is about to end and anticipating what is coming next, and some ambivalence is part of the process....<br />sometimes i had to remind myself to just do the next task - even if it wasn't the most important one - to avoid feeling overwhelmed by the whole process....<br /><br />take care....<br />clairesmumUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13382503094929375543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-88076714798248341832017-06-02T10:12:24.424-04:002017-06-02T10:12:24.424-04:00Feel for you both, moving is such a stresful time....Feel for you both, moving is such a stresful time.

But I know there was one night when only by God's grace I didn't fall down one set of them and possibly not survive the fall. I hang onto the railing now, and go down backward if necessary, but I can't just walk up and down 90% of the time.<br /><br />We're doing the same - except haven't gotten serious enough to love a new place. I think that will help.<br /><br />You will be happy.<br /><br />There have always been handicapped people. The architecture tells you they weren't included or planned for.ABEhrhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211038591900883672noreply@blogger.com
